Actually it is. They confirmed it in the comic.
All they confirmed was that Depa was in a coma, and possibly went a bit loola first. But there's no way a single comic could confirm a whole novel.
People need to let Legends = Canon go. Parts of established Legend facts are being adopted by Canon, but not entire novels.

Which is what happened in "Shatterpoint." Ergo "Shatterpoint" is canon.

It doesn't need to. As long as the novel doesn't directly contradict anything in the (ugh) "new" canon, it should still be considered canon. There's no reason not to.

Especially considering that Depa's a confirmed Soresu specialist in the New Canon, not a Vaapad practitioner.
Allow me to explain it to you. Vaapad is basically a refined version of Juyo (i.e. it's still Form VII, not a separate Form). To become a Juyo master you need to have first mastered other Forms.
Also I refer you to the Inquisitor's line "for close-quarters fighting Billaba's emphasis was always on Form III." He is saying it right there; she used Form III under specific conditions.
Plus it would be safe to assume that after she regained her sanity she never used Vaapad again and focused entirely on Form III.
I'm just saying that if you want them to fit together they can.

Shatterpoint is not canon. Depa turned to the dark side in that one. If and when she came out of a coma, they wouldn't let her be a Jedi again.
Unfortunately Dark Disciple proves the Jedi are capable of doing that.
Regardless some people are clearly still having a hard time accepting Legends is not Canon. And I'm betting listening to Jensari doesn't help.

Grievous never had a chance to activate his weapons, and Vos also humiliated Dooku, so that's one of the more excusable ones relatively speaking.
On topic though, Canon Grievous seems a little more bad@ss in the comics (SoD) than the cartoon.
